Speaking of what we want to preserve on this site....this thread is a great read. Here's to you Mr. Stoddard!

22.5y ago, holy shit! Trip report from 2003

Trip: New Hampshah - Black Dike and Frankenstein Classics Trip Date: 12/30/2025 Trip Report: Was in New England visiting family for the holidays and got to sneak away for two days of ice up in New Hampshire. Lots of beta out there on these routes, but I will just reiterate what you probably know... the ice is plentiful, plastic and easily accessible. Worth a flight out from the NW? Maybe not given the other options much closer, but if the opportunity arises I recommend. I found this website to be very helpful for partners and conditions... https://www.neiceconditions.org/ ...They also do some great things (like the instagram hack) that seems like it might be useful here too. Day 0 scoping after freezing rain Like every road cut... Day 1 Black Dike High of 8F, 50mph gusts Pitch 3, harder than it looks Looking over at Fafnir... next time! Day 2 Frankenstein Clif Pegasus Rock Finish, Hobbit Couloir, Dracula + some thinner TR laps... 10-20 min walk from the car park. Pegasus Rock Finish is a second pitch alternative that goes up the pillar... Partner topping out on the Rock Finish... Partner's shot of the top/crux of Hobbit Couloir... HC and PRF from the ground... Approach vibes... Dracula... Gear Notes: Standard ice kit Approach Notes: Micro spikes were helpful

We are not dead! That was extremely trying. The server totally crashed in a terrible way right in the middle of a super intense week at work for me and I was taxed mentally to the max figuring this out. Luckily I have a couple really good friends, ex-coworkers...but they are friends to give me moral support and confidence to do everything I did which was rebuild everything on modern software. So the site is in a MUCH better place than it was pre-crash. I still have a bunch of maintainance to do, but the site is back up and going. Thank you for sticking around. We WILL keep this place alive dammit.

On a road trip in Idaho and Montana and came across this hat in a thrift store in a little town in Montana when I stopped in to get some steak knifes. Got this and three steak knifes for $2. Thank you Steve and RIP.
